This article discusses the evaluation of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) using a standardized stair climbing test (SCT) in comparison to standard treadmill cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and the 6-minute walking test (6MWT). The study evaluated CRF in various groups, including healthy individuals, obese adults, Fontan patients, and patients after heart transplantation. The results showed significant correlations between the SCT and CPET, indicating that the SCT can be used as an alternative or additional test to evaluate CRF in different groups. The SCT is described as an easy, cost-effective, and reliable test. [Extracted from the article] |
